Trump Says He Was ‘Too Busy’ to Turn in Classified Docs — New Ad Humiliates Him and Proves How True This Was 

By

One Republican PAC wants to see the Party take Donald Trump out with the trash that he is and has recently released a commercial excoriating him over his excuses that he was too “busy” to return boxes of classified documents to the U.S. government. You know, documents that he had no right to take in the first place.

Trump has claimed quite a variety of excuses for this — starting with a rally at his Bedminster golf club in New Jersey last week and during a Fox News interview earlier this week, according to The Independent. In both of these instances, he claimed he failed to return the documents because they were jumbled with his personal belongings and he didn’t have the chance to go through them yet when the FBI contacted him.

So the group the Republican Accountability PAC released an ad that really handed Trump’s hindquarters to him.

The advertisement begins with a narrator asking “Why did Donald Trump refuse to return highly sensitive classified documents?”

Then it cuts to Trump’s Fox News interview.

“I want to go through the boxes and get all my personal things out and I was very busy, as you’ve sort of seen,” Trump says in the clip.
“That’s right,” the narrator says. “He was too busy to comply with a subpoena because he was too busy DJing at Mar-a-Lago.“

Then the ad spends several seconds detailing some of the reasons Trump has been “too busy” after leaving the White House in 2021.

“Too busy crashing random people’s weddings,” the narrator adds as images of Trump taking part in numerous leisure activities appear on the screen. “Too busy going to multiple UFC fights. Too busy selling NFTs. Too busy dancing to the Village People by the pool. To busy golfing.”

While he still continues to make these excuses, Trump faces 37 felony counts stemming from his mishandling of the classified documents and refusing to return them. Trump is the first president to be federally indicted and on June 13 he pleaded not guilty at a Miami courthouse.

Then, of course, there’s his other indictment, the one in Manhattan surrounding his alleged role in the much-mentioned hush payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. Oh, and he’s also facing other potential indictments over his attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results.

You’d think with all the legal problems Trump is facing that he’d tank in the polls. But nope. He’s continuing to lead in polls of the 2024 Republican nominating contest by a considerable margin.

Which should tell you something about Republicans and their voters.

It remains to be seen whether his legal problems will affect his standing in the Republican primary or the general election. They do, however, appear to be raising the stakes of the looming presidential election for Trump.

The Republican Accountability PAC concludes its ad with the narrator noting: “He doesn’t think rules apply to him — especially when he’s so busy.”

It seems to me that Trump is about to learn a painful truth. He’s effed around and now he’s finding out.

I’ve included the on-point ad below.
